ONE SPARK has officially landed on the continent after a long shipping adventure across the seas!

In honor of our teachers, librarians, educators and therapists, please take 20% off when you pre-order directly from @bushelandpeckbooks. Copies are now in stock (yippee!). Use code TEACHERSROCK at checkout.

Plus, for every copy purchased, B&P donates a book to a child in need. How cool is that?!

Written by me and gorgeously illustrated by @petitfaon_prints, ONE SPARK is a beautiful reminder that one small spark inside a child can light the whole world.

Official release date is Nov. 3, so stay tuned for more #picturebook fun coming soon!

"Maycember" has been nonstop for the Coffey family...

An unforgettable visit to Washington DC @librarycongress for the launch of The Source---a new, interactive kids space.

Celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary on May 19.

And today, our 16-yo senior walks the commencement stage, graduating a year early from @whs_chaps.

And then this incredible article came out yesterday.

I have ALL sorts of big feels, but mostly, I`m one proud mama! 😭
